Why Are We NOT in Pakistan!?!?!

Al Qaeda is gaining in strength from its refuge in Pakistan and is steadily improving its ability to recruit, train and position operatives capable of carrying out attacks inside the United States, the director of national intelligence told a Senate panel on Tuesday.

The director, Mike McConnell, told lawmakers that Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, remained in control of the terrorist group and had promoted a new generation of lieutenants. He said Al Qaeda was also improving what he called “the last key aspect of its ability to attack the U.S.” — producing militants, including new Western recruits, capable of blending into American society and attacking domestic targets.

If this is the case, WHY THE HELL ARE WE NOT IN PAKISTAN TO STOP THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it really that hard of a question to ask? Com’on Congressmen! Com’on journalists! Ask!

I’m more pointing out to the utter hypocrisy of the Bush administration and its supporters who claim Iraq is a fight against our enemy. By going into Iraq, we undermined our fight against our real enemy: Al-Qaeda.

Jared, I’ve heard enough privately and semi-publicly (i.e., the press reports good reporters at less-read pubs do but rarely show up in the NY Times) to convince me you’re right about us having troops inside Pakistan in small numbers. Actually, hardly seems a secret at all between missile assaults and the fairly large number of news tidbits that come out here and there. But then hiding in plain sight is rather a more ordinary game than our minds naturally tend to recognize.

“Among other things, the new arrangements allowed an increase in the number and scope of patrols and strikes by armed Predator surveillance aircraft launched from a secret base in Pakistan — a far more aggressive strategy to attack Al Qaeda and the Taliban than had existed before.”

So it seems there has been US activity in Pakistan, limited yes, but what we all suspected, is in fact, reality.
